PikePro Twin Treble Traces are built for use with a wide range of deadbaits and are made using only the best quality PikePro components. Also known as a snap tackle or two-hook trace, this is the ideal trace to use with baits from around 4 inches in length and upwards. These traces suit many different rigs and hooking arrangements. Perhaps the simplest is a leger rig, with the top hook mounted in the tail-root of the bait and the lower hook in the flank. The same hook positions work well with a float legered bait too. When fishing a bait suspended off the bottom, normally under a float or on a float paternoster rig, a different hook positioning is recommended. For these rigs, place the upper hook in muscle just in front of the dorsal fin and the lower hook in the base of the pectoral fin. This arrangement holds the bait almost vertical, giving it a more realistic appearance when suspended in midwater. Quality components: - 40lb seven-strand wire used on all traces - 80lb rated swivels - PikePro treble hooks - Swivel and hook covers - Bait Flags supplied with each trace These components combine to give a super-strong trace that will not let you down. Importantly, when used with PikePro Main Line Braid, it is possible in most cases to straighten the hooks on the trace rather than snap off, enabling snagged bait traces to be retrieved. The swivel and hook covers are PikePro's own design and produce a neat finish to the rigs. Bait Flags add additional visual attraction and can be used to hold baits in place. All traces are made in PikePro's own factory in the UK, giving complete control over build quality. With many years of experience in trace-making, staff ensure you get a trace that is just as good as you can tie yourself. Choosing the right hook size: - Size 8 Twin Treble Trace: for baits of around 5 inches to 6 inches, such as medium smelt, mini mackerel and small trout - Size 6 Twin Treble Trace: for baits from 6 inches to 8 inches, such as large smelt, sardines and small herring - Size 4 Twin Treble Trace: for baits above 8 inches, such as Maxi smelt, joey mackerel, large roach and pollan The traces are available in three hook sizes to suit different sized baits. As the hook size increases, so does the distance between the hooks, giving the perfect positioning whatever size bait you choose.
